Many tourists come to Vietnam for an exciting holiday, but not many know about these amazing places. In this article, we will explore three great places to relax.

An Bàng Beach is a great beach near Hội An. Visitors can swim in the nice warm sea or make sandcastles on the beautiful beach. It's very accessible since it's just a short drive from Hội An. You can even take a bicycle from the old town.

Côn Đảo Island is a small island off the south coast of Vietnam. It's not as accessible as An Bàng Beach. You can fly there from the airport in Ho Chi Minh City. I think it's much quieter and more relaxing than An Bàng.

Last is Lý Sơn Island. This is a small island off the east coast of Vietnam. It's very quiet and very clean. It's much more relaxing than An Bàng Beach, but it's not as accessible as Côn Đảo Island. You can only get there by boat.
